Chapter 564: Who Knows

A Great Quest. It was a type of quest that concerned the gods, monster lords, spirit gods, or demon gods. It was one of the most difficult quests as a god-level powerhouse could directly attack.

Some of his quests before also involved gods but those gods weren't the main focus of the quest. The instruction wasn't against the gods but here... The Great Quest was primarily focused on god-level beings.

Souta would undoubtedly fight some god-level beings in this quest. Even if he didn't meet Lucifer, those Demon Pillars will chase after him if he goes against Lucifer. Demon Pillars were the army commander of the seventy armies of Heavenly Demon Palace and each one of them attained god realm.

But he didn't need to worry about this Great Quest now. He was weak and he just need to follow the system's instructions to avoid Lucifer's detection. Plus, he didn't harbor any ill intent towards Lucifer at this moment.

As for sleeping, it's such a waste as his recovery abilities would increase by five times while he was sleeping. Just a few hours of sleep and he guessed that he would recover his normal condition but not anymore.

Damn! The power of dreams was such a powerful ability. Most of the people didn't know Lucifer so even if they harbor ill intent towards the leader of the demon army, Lucifer wouldn't be able to detect it.

It would be a different matter if it was him. Souta knew Lucifer's name and his appearance so a little bit of ill intention would fly towards Lucifer's consciousness. In return, he would be able to know Souta's appearance and name. He could use Souta's appearance and name to enter the dream realm. With his power, he could easily kill Souta in his dream.

It was a great combo for killing people in a long distance.

Dream Realm.

It was a mysterious realm along with a soul realm that even gods couldn't easily interfere. It was just below soul realm in terms of strangeness as gods could somehow manipulate it like Lucifer. According to the gods that studied dreams, as long as they integrated the essence of their dreams into their consciousness then they would be able to gain a territory in the dream realm.

The chance of integrating the essence of dreams was only five percent but now that the rules were fragile the chances had risen. It became twenty percent so some of the gods that were interested in the dream realm were vying for the essence of dreams.

It will be a long chaotic fight in the future until a monster lord won the battle of dreams. It was one of the three ancient monster kings, the Sea King, also known as Cthulhu. Cthulhu will be called Lord of Dreams in the next few years.

Souta along with the few commanders of the Mechanic Country participated in that battle. Even with his full universal artifact set, Cthulhu killed him dozens of times and he even killed two of the ten commanders that participated.

There were many battles that will occur in the Imperium once the Great Barrier have fully opened. The battles of dreams were just one of the conflicts that gods participated in.

Souta was in his deep thoughts when he heard Alice's voice beside him.

"Souta, is there something wrong? You looked pale." Alice asked.

"Ah, n-nothing... I'm just shocked by your revelation. I thought that you're just an ordinary demon but didn't expect you a noble demon at all." Souta smiled wryly as he scratched the back of his head. The Great Quest made him remember some of the events that happened in the game. "Anyway, you can continue if you want. I'm here to listen to your story."

"Alright." Alice looked at him for a while before she sighed. "I escaped from my father's hand without any clue as I was still a fourteen-year-old child at that time. I know a lot of things about the Demon's Land yet I know little things about my father. Even though he's my father, I rarely saw him. The one that takes care of me is my mother."

She slowly recounted the things that she experienced in the past. As the daughter of Lucifer, she received formal training from other Demon Pillars. She learned the demon's technique and proceeded to train her combat skills without raising her power level. That's why for a long time, she stayed at D-rank level.

According to her instructor, before she could increase her power level she needed to hone her combat skills to the limit. But then, an unknown incident occurred. Her mother appeared in front of her with blood all over her body.

Alice didn't know the details but her mother took her out of the Demon's Land. In the process, her instructor, the 61st Demon Pillar, had died along with her mother and her butler, Sebas. She could only remember her mother's words at that time.

Her mother said that she needed to get out of the Demon's Land as far as possible. She should hide her identity as a demon and don't tell anyone about it. No matter what, she shouldn't release the limit placed on her body as her father would be able to sense it.

She tried to ask the truth but her mother replied that it was not the right time. If Alice learned the truth, Lucifer would be able to sense her location. So if she wanted to learn the truth of the incident, she needed to reach god level. Ordinary god would be insufficient as her father was one of the strongest demon gods out there. There were only ten demons that could fight him in the entire Demon's Land.

"Hmm... Then, do you hate your father?" Souta glanced at her.

"No, I don't know the truth so how could I hate my father. In fact, I admire my almighty father and I want to be like him. So unless I know the truth, my feelings wouldn't change." Alice said as she lowered my head.

"I see..." Souta turned silent as he finally understood why Lucifer couldn't detect Alice.

Her mother probably didn't tell the truth so that Alice couldn't hate her father. Lucifer had the power to know the location of the people that hate him. Without knowing the truth, Alice could only doubt her father but not to the point of hating him. It was good and it saved her life.

Suddenly, he recalled her words.

"Wait! Wait!" Souta turned to her with wide eyes and asked, "You said that your mother told you that you shouldn't remove your limiters because your father would be able to detect your location, right?"

"Yeah..." Alice looked up at his face.

"T-Then... Have you removed your limiters in the battle against the Clan Leader?" Souta cautiously asked. He was nervous to know the truth.

"Yeah, I don't have a choice. My normal demon power is only at intermediate stage of S-rank. If I remove my limiter then I'm basically a peak S-rank and that isn't even enough to fight against an early stage SS-rank." Alice paused and said, "Oh, we should need to get out of this planet as soon as possible. My father will send some of his forces here to clean this place."

'Shit!!! My guess is right!! She really removed her limiter! Lucifer's army will now be going to chase after me! I already had trouble with Council of High-World and now, a bigger hunter had joined the party!!' Souta pinched the bridge of his nose. Too much trouble for a mere third evolution stage monster.

He really needed to join Athena's hero and take those quests that she provided to her heroes. Most of his equipment was hidden in the sub-world that she owned. To complete his set, it was one of the steps that he needed to do. After this, he will go to Mars Archipelago and fight for his island there.

"Sorry, I-" Alice couldn't finish her words as Souta raised his hand to stop her.

"No, no, no, don't worry about it. I should ask you a question instead." Souta looked at her as his expression turned serious. "Do you still want to return to Imperium where the chances of your father finding you are quite high? Of course, you already heard from Lumilia's report that the demons are currently attacking the Giza Continent. Even so, are you still sure that you wanted to follow me?"

"Yes, I do trust you." Alice nodded her head.

"Then, don't worry about it. If it comes down to it, I'll do everything in my power to help you. Well, I don't think I could help with my current power level but in the future... Who knows..." Souta grinned widely.

He was sure that in the future he would become a powerful monster lord. He already had a clear path to god realm. Even without the system, as long as he reached the limit of fifth evolution he could use his Archetype Skill for ascension.

"Sure, it's not that bad to bet on my friend." Alice smiled as she raised her hand.

Souta shook her hand and said, "Well, after finishing my concerns we'll go back to Giza and tell the others about our identity."
